List of Big Brother 2006 housemates (UK)
Encyclopedia
A total of 22 housemates participated in the seventh series of Big Brother
in the UK, where they were observed by television viewers 24 hours a day and each week, and a housemate was voted to be evicted by the general public until the winner, Pete Bennett
, was left.
Most of the housemates entered on the first day of the series but Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace and Sam Brodie entered the house as rewards from a task and Susie Verrico entered through a 'golden ticket' promotion with Nestle
. As part of a twist, a new set of rooms, named the House Next Door, were built, and the housemates Jayne Kitt, Jennie Corner, Michael Cheshire and Glen 'Spiral' Coroner were introduced to the series through this twist. The House Next Door was used later on in the series where four previously evicted housemates were allowed to return temporarily, one of whom, Nikki Grahame
stayed in the House until the final.
In the sixth week, on Day 44, Aisleyne was voted (with 67.3% of the public vote), to move into the House Next Door to join five new housemates that were added to the series. On Day 49, she then had to evict one of the remaining housemates in the House Next Door; she chose to evict Jonathan and returned with Spiral to the main House. Aisleyne was nominated in Weeks 6 and 8. She gained more and more popularity towards the end of the show.
Aisleyne finished in third place with 22%. She became the highest placed female. She currently presents her own show on the online urban radio station Invincible Radio every Thursday from 5-7pm.
She has also made a sideline in glamour modelling, appearing in magazines Zoo Weekly
, Nuts
and the Daily Star on a number of occasions and she has recently been involved with the NHS Stop Smoking campaign in association with Cancer Research UK.
Aisleyne has appeared in three episodes of Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe
. She has since become friends with Charlie Brooker
and attended the Glastonbury Festival
with him.
In August 2007, Aisleyne became a patron for the charity Brain Tumour UK.

, working with people who have Down's syndrome. After failing to get elected to the Big Brotherhood she was nominated for eviction with Dawn Blake and Glyn Wise, however, Dawn Blake was ejected from the house meaning she was nominated with only Glyn Wise. She was the first evictee, on Day 9, with 78% of the vote.
Davina McCall revealed on the night of Mikey's and Susie's eviction (Day 79) that 10 Ex housemates had a chance to re-enter the house into the house next door, Bonnie was not eligible due to legal reasons.
.
In her audition, Dawn stated that she believes that "the realities of life" are "shit" and that we are all "born into misery". Dawn has never been in love, and thinks the whole idea of love is a fantasy. (But she contradicted herself when she said all the people she has loved have fallen for someone else.) She also claims she has no friends and no desire to make any. She thinks that most people are only really nice to a few people at most and are "bastards" but mentions Gandhi, Mother Teresa
and Bob Geldof
as nice people.
In the house, there was a period where the housemates were not allowed to have access to their suitcases. This meant that Dawn had no access to her deodorants and had strong body odour which transferred onto Grace's sweatshirt, which Nikki was wearing at that time. Dawn also became frustrated with the fact that she had no access to her clothes and stated she had to borrow clothes from the male housemates because the girls' didn't fit her.
After seven days in the house, Dawn received a message from her family saying "your sister is ill". She was later observed to tell the other contestants that "I have a code" and "Something bad has happened, I need to leave". In the afternoon, Dawn announced that she was leaving, and that Big Brother had convinced her to stay for one more night so they could make arrangements for her departure. That evening, Dawn packed what little clothes she had, and made it quite clear she was going and hence she was no longer part of the game.
The following day, Dawn was called to diary room and before entering, she said goodbye to each of the remaining contestants. When entering the diary room, she was asked to sit down, and she refused saying that "I am not part of the game anymore, please could you let me out now", when her request was denied she angrily shouted "shut up" so as to indicate she was no longer prepared to enter into a discussion. Eventually, the exit of the diary room was opened and she left. Later on, the producers classified Dawn as 'ejected'.
Dawn later went 'on hunger strike
' until the producers of Big Brother provided her with unedited footage to prove she had been kept in the House against her will. The Hertfordshire
Police Force launched an inquiry into her claims. She remained on hunger strike for just under 20 days.

On Day 84, Glyn ran across the roof of the Big Brother House in an attempt to contact the House Next Door, thus breaking the rules, and was punished by not being allowed to take part in the discussion relating to which former Housemate would move from the House Next Door into the Big Brother House.

In her audition, Dawn stated that she believes that "the realities of life" are "shit" and that we are all "born into misery". Dawn has never been in love, and thinks the whole idea of love is a fantasy. (But she contradicted herself when she said all the people she has loved have fallen for someone else.) She also claims she has no friends and no desire to make any. She thinks that most people are only really nice to a few people at most and are "bastards" but mentions Gandhi, Mother Teresa

In the house, there was a period where the housemates were not allowed to have access to their suitcases. This meant that Dawn had no access to her deodorants and had strong body odour which transferred onto Grace's sweatshirt, which Nikki was wearing at that time. Dawn also became frustrated with the fact that she had no access to her clothes and stated she had to borrow clothes from the male housemates because the girls' didn't fit her.
After seven days in the house, Dawn received a message from her family saying "your sister is ill". She was later observed to tell the other contestants that "I have a code" and "Something bad has happened, I need to leave". In the afternoon, Dawn announced that she was leaving, and that Big Brother had convinced her to stay for one more night so they could make arrangements for her departure. That evening, Dawn packed what little clothes she had, and made it quite clear she was going and hence she was no longer part of the game.
The following day, Dawn was called to diary room and before entering, she said goodbye to each of the remaining contestants. When entering the diary room, she was asked to sit down, and she refused saying that "I am not part of the game anymore, please could you let me out now", when her request was denied she angrily shouted "shut up" so as to indicate she was no longer prepared to enter into a discussion. Eventually, the exit of the diary room was opened and she left. Later on, the producers classified Dawn as 'ejected'.
Dawn later went 'on hunger strike
